Got my Wheels on yesterday!!

They arrived from the Tire Rack yesteray, and I installed them and took her for a test drive. I will say, the handling difference from a 15" to a 17" is big. Around curves the body roll is alot less. And the Dunlop SP9000 tires grip the road like theres no tommorrow. Road noise is much better than with the Dunlop Sport A2 I had. Cant wait to test the wet performance. The Millie Miglia MM11-2 is a very nice looking wheel on the max as well. Subtle, but still enough to make it stand out. I already got quite a few compliments an how nice they look..... I've taken some pics, and will post them when I get the chance....

Those are very nice, Jonathan. I miss 5-spoke wheels a lot...6-spoke isn't too but there's nothing as sweet as a deep dished and open 5-spoke rim.

Anyway, be sure to have someone else drive your car so you can admire how nicely the wheels spin from a stop. You will love it!

(I used to catch myself looking at the reflection of my car's wheels from a store's glass downtown, or a dark-colored car's reflection)
